A firefighter is just doing their job. They have family to go back to. There is no replacement for love....
Love cannot repel flames. Willpower will not overcome smoke inhalation. Running into a burning building to save a child is not reality, it's Hollywood nonsense.
I also see no indication that the firefighters, either in general or in this case, were phoning it in. The mere suggestion is insulting.
If someone wants to put themselves at risk for a good enough reason then little ticket collector cops can **** off.
That "ticket collector" is doing his job, by stopping someone from recklessly and rashly causing their own death.
I mean, really. Do none of you people recognize how insanely dangerous it is to run into a burning building?
So instead they let him deal with grief for eternity or until he dies.
At least he's alive to feel the grief; at least his family doesn't have to mourn him, too.
What they did was greedy and for themselves because they didnt want to see more tragedy. And cast this man into a loop of a hell in his mind.
"Didn't want more tragedy?" You mean, they didn't want
more people to die? That, to you, is greedy and selfish?
Pardon my French, but that's total bull****. There is no way the first responders restrained this guy out of greed or self-interest. They made a choice to protect people in their community, at great risk to their own health and safety, and in many cases without much pay.
And again, if the cops did nothing, watching family member after family member run into the building, what would be the response then? They'd be torn apart for letting an entire family perish.
Its easy for the cops because it isnt a member of their family in there.
Again, what hogwash.
Cops aren't perfect; firefighters aren't angels. When they screw up, we need to call them on it. In this case, they did not screw up; they did exactly what they were supposed to do. The people who put their lives on the line to keep you safe deserve respect, not insults based on macho fantasies of Saving the Day.
